New Mexico veterinary teams asked for more practical learning opportunities, better communication, and easier ways to stay connected. NMVMA is working to deliver on that.
Several upcoming programs are designed to support veterinarians, veterinary technicians, practice teams, students, and partners across the state. These events reflect what we continue to hear through the NMVMA Practice Census, CE Needs Survey, Listening Tour, and member conversations: teams need useful education, timely updates, and opportunities to connect without unnecessary complexity.
Coming up:
Protecting Veterinary Practice in New Mexico
May 13, 2026 | 5:00–6:00 p.m. | Webinar
This timely session will focus on scope of practice, patient safety, workforce pressures, and what comes next for veterinary medicine in New Mexico. The program will also share how NMVMA is organizing its advocacy response through the Legislative Affairs Committee, Board, and NMVMA Advocacy Group. CE has been submitted for review by the New Mexico Board of Veterinary Medicine.
Introduction to Exotic Companion Animal Medicine for the Small Animal Practitioner
May 22, 2026 | ABQ BioPark
This in-person program will help small animal practitioners build a stronger foundation in exotic companion animal medicine, including pet birds, reptiles and amphibians, and small mammals. Attendees are invited to join informal zoo veterinary clinic tours beginning at 2:45 p.m., with the CE program beginning at 3:45 p.m. CE has been submitted for review by the New Mexico Board of Veterinary Medicine.
Southwest Veterinary Symposium 2026
September 17–20, 2026 | San Antonio, Texas
SWVS offers team-friendly CE across multiple tracks and gives New Mexico practices a practical regional option for high-quality education. SWVS also directly supports NMVMA’s year-round work because NMVMA is one of the partner VMAs behind the meeting. When New Mexico veterinarians attend, they invest in their own learning and help support advocacy, communication, and member services at home.
